Yarn Deal Alert

Elann.com, for many years, has been one of the reasons that my stash has overflowed. Their prices are amazing, and they ship quickly. I always found that to be one of the most exciting things about Elann. I'd order, and just about two days later, I'd find a big box of yarn on my doorstep. Now, that could be the proximity of their offices; nevertheless, I've always received my order quickly.

So imagine my surprise when they contacted me asking if they could feature one of my patterns, the Yogini Bolero, on their website to highlight a new yarn that they would sell, Plymouth Yarn Grass, which is a combination of cotton and hemp.

They're offering the yarn for only $3.98 a ball.

And if you are knitting a Yogini Bolero, and purchase that yarn, just know that I'm getting gauge on size 6 needles. Not that we all knit at the same tension or anything. I just thought I'd tell you about my experience so that rather than just going with what the yarn ball or your pattern says, you need to do a little swatch with whatever size needles that helps you obtain the correct gauge.

Happy Knitting! (Oh, and this is my Yogini Bolero so far. I can tell that it will drape even nicer than my samples due to the fiber content.)
